  1. Thats just simply amazing. Really. Imagine devoting spare time over 15 years to do something like this. Imagine the sense of achievement and closure after you finished.

  3. Wow. That's impressive, but do you think maybe you had too much time on your hands? I mean, we could use somebody like you in the government, or at an American car company or any place where attention to detail and pride in worksmanship have been sorely lacking over the last 15 years or so.
